14.3% alc., $45.
Winemaker Tony Rynder’s first label after making wine for others for 20 years.
·Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Very shy aromatics with demure
aromas of berries, fennel, cut flowers and roasted nuts. Medium weight tasty
core of black cherries and black raspberries with a complimentary spice and
vanilla accent. Very charming in the mouth, striking an impression on the mid
palate and sporting a pleasing velvety texture. The flavors trump the nose at
this stage. Very good.Reviewed January 12, 2012
